Chapter 148 Overseas Wenguo

After finishing a series of major events such as shooting the five elders of Guigu, annihilating the Turpan and Turkic coalition forces, and intimidating Empress Wu Zhao, Zhou Ming took 20,000 Tian family musketeers, and stayed in Yinzhou to wait. Responding to 20,000 horses, a total of more than 40,000 people, after a little explanation of the situation, the mighty army marched east again, heading for Qingzhou.

Looking at Zhou Ming's hands, an elite army equipped with magical weapons suddenly appeared. Some literati and celebrities were very excited, but at the same time they were very puzzled and asked: "Brother Zihua holds such heavenly soldiers in his hands, why not sweep Shenzhou in one fell swoop and enter the country?" Where is the main artifact to slay the Demon Queen Wu Mei?"

There are a few celebrities who have written a few brilliant "Warrior Calls" with a splash of ink, and named Zhou Ming the "General of Shenzhou" to crusade against those who had changed the name of the Great Zhou to "Da Tang". Empress Wu Zhao, they believed that with the 20,000 heavenly soldiers in Zhou Ming's hands, it only took three months to destroy this puppet Tang Dynasty.

There are also a few celebrities who are good at the art of looking at each other and expressing in public that they saw a real dragon's spirit on Zhou Ming's head, saying that he has the "nine-day real dragon's fate", and he should follow the trend of the times and the hearts of the people. And let them, these celebrities, also be able to become marquises and worship ministers, and be the heroes of the dragon...

Zhou Ming dismissed all kinds of provocative words. Even if he sits on the throne, what if he establishes a new dynasty? It's just another three-hundred-year dynasty, and if you can't jump out of the cycle of the dynasty, even if you become an emperor, it will only bring the risk of genocide to future generations.

Only the undefeated foundation left behind for thousands of years is worthy of his hard work.

"This... there is no foundation for thousands of years. Even the Xia Dynasty, the longest in the country, only lasted for 800 years. Thousands of years...impossible, absolutely impossible!"

One person categorically denied it, thinking that Mr. Zihua's idea was too unreliable, and he was simply joking and talking in sleep.

"How is it impossible? Gentlemen, come and listen to my idea, and you will know that it is impossible..."

Zhou Ming gathered hundreds of famous and talented celebrities together, and proposed his "constitutional monarchy", "equal democracy", "separation of powers", "parliamentary governance", "parliamentary elections", "term system, establishment of After the conception of "Society under the Rule of Law" and so on, these celebrities were stunned, tossing and turning all night thinking about the feasibility of these systems.

In the process of in-depth discussion, some people pointed out several core issues, such as "Is the monarch willing to hand over most of the power? To be a 'virtual monarch' whose symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning?", "How to form a party How does the Congress vote? How does the Parliament work?" Zhou Ming answered all the questions, such as "how to ensure proper supervision, fully implement the rule of law, ensure that everyone is equal before the law, and that princes who break the law are really guilty of the common people" and so on. Answer in detail.

In addition, in order for these scholars to have a more comprehensive and clear understanding of the so-called constitutional monarchy, Zhou Ming also asked someone to distribute a book "On Constitutional Monarchy" written by him with more than 500,000 words to these scholars. After going on, for a period of time, almost everyone was reading this book, discussing it day and night, and finally came to a conclusion:

Unless there is such an enlightened monarch who can abandon some insurmountable power desires and selfishness in human nature, and implement this constitutional monarchy system smoothly for fifty years to form an unbreakable political system, it is possible to break the dynasty's rise and fall. Periodic law, establish the so-called "thousands of generations" invincible foundation.

Therefore, there are two necessary prerequisites, clearly placed there:

The first premise is that there must be such an enlightened monarch; the second is that there must be such a test field to test this system.

If the two prerequisites are not met, everything is just a vain conjecture...

At this time, Zhou Ming took out a map in front of these scribes, and revealed his long-hidden hole cards. Facing the map, he said that his Haipingtian family had led dozens of aristocratic families in Qingzhou. In 20 years, hundreds of islands have been developed in the Penglai Immortal Territory, which now occupies more than one million square kilometers and has a population of more than five million people under its rule. It is preparing to establish an overseas joint country, and is exploring, using What kind of system is better to govern this new type of country...

Hearing this revelation, the literati in the tent all stared wide-eyed, as if they were meeting him for the first time, and felt that he was extremely strange.

Some people were speechless for a long time, but their expressions became extremely excited; some people smiled wryly, pointed at Zhou Ming and cursed: "Brother Zihua, you have worked so hard to hide it from us!"

Later, the literati in the account were all in high spirits and used their talents to make suggestions and brainstorm. During the 78-day march back to Qingzhou, they put forward tens of thousands of suggestions for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. Constructive suggestions and suggestions... These 78 days were called the "78 Days of the Constitution" in later documentaries. Historians spoke highly of it: Although these 78 days were short, they brought great institutional progress to human civilization. Over a full 7,800 years.

Two years later, June 7th.

Penglai Fairyland, Central Island.

In the south of a medium-sized island with an area of ​​100,000 square kilometers, in a moon-shaped bay, a city that took five years to build and covers an area of ​​five square kilometers. Looking down from the sky, there are many white buildings with giant domes. Today, in Witnessed by 10,000 election representatives sent by 66 families and 100,000 citizens of the capital, His Majesty Wen Huang, who had just turned 40 years old, with the crown on his head and the Constitution in his hand, walked away amidst the rain of flowers and cheers that shook the sky. Arriving at the rostrum in front of the steps of the Parliament Building, an important event that will forever be remembered in history was announced:

"Today, our overseas united Wen Kingdom is officially established!"

"Overseas Wenguo, the purpose of its establishment is to establish a prosperous age of equality and freedom for everyone! A constitutional monarchy, rule of law, everyone abides by laws and regulations, and everyone is civilized and courteous... Work together to make this overseas country a virtuous state, Become a country of great harmony, a country that everyone aspires to, and a country that will last forever!"

"My Tian Zihua hereby swears: I am willing to take the lead in abiding by the laws and systems of the Wen Kingdom, and will never bend the law for personal gain; With five million subjects in the country, the road is blue and blue, continue to open up, and the sixty-six national flags of Wenguo will be erected all over the endless islands, and the endless wilderness will be ruled! Zihua is willing to work together with the subjects of Wenguo, love the family and love the country, and everyone will make Contribution, everyone should not forget the original intention, make the country of Wen a better place, and make the country of Wen live forever!"

"My Tian Zihua, I would like to encourage you all!"

Bang bang bang bang bang!

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience, which lasted for a long time.

On the other side of the mainland, Wu Zhao, who sat on the throne and changed the name of the country to "Tang", has been paying close attention to the latest developments in Wenguo overseas on the one hand, and is always on guard; After the rebellion, Wu Zhao also began to display her political ambitions and did some practical things.

For example, she appointed talented people from poor families, rewarded farming and mulberry, reformed the administration of officials, established a reporting system, set up reporting boxes across the country, and eliminated a large number of corrupt officials who broke the law... Various measures have established a good reputation in the hearts of the people at the bottom.

Even so, in the past few years, the turmoil and rebellion in the Tang Dynasty have continued, and there are still countless wealthy families who disobey her, saying that she is going against heaven and disorder, and reversing yin and yang! The rooster wakes up in the morning, and the heavens do not allow it! Then they formed a series of connections behind the scenes, prepared soldiers and armor, and plotted a rebellion, but they were all discovered by Wu Zhao's intelligence power, and then the soldiers invaded the territory, exterminated the clan, and ransacked the homes!

Wu Zhao, who was merciless to the aristocratic families, not only killed Li Zhou's clan in the past few years, but also wiped out the three families of Li family in Zhaojun, Lu family in Fanyang, and Li family in Longxi. Every time the thousand-year-old family raised the butcher's knife, tens of thousands of heads fell, and those small and medium-sized families had no idea how many people were slaughtered by Wu Zhao.

Seeing this extremely tragic scene, some family patriarchs in Overseas Wenguo persuaded Zhou Ming to intervene, saying that Wu Zhao can no longer be allowed to slaughter the family like this, and must send troops to stop her!

Zhou Ming shook his head and refused to send troops to rescue, because these aristocratic families are actually not good birds. They are the most powerful in annexing land and oppressing the lower classes. Wu Zhao can kill them all, which is equivalent to cleaning up the cancer on the country's body Cells have eased class conflicts, and those who benefit the most are the poor people at the bottom.

However, when Wu Zhao pointed the butcher knife at the Guanglingtian family in the name of "suspected of participating in Xu Jingye's rebellion and secretly funding the rebel army", Zhou Ming couldn't sit still, and personally led a landing fleet with five Thousands of elite musketeers landed in Yangzhou and fired multiple rounds of firearms. After defeating the imperial army, they rescued the Guanglingtian family who had been besieged by the imperial army for half a month, and more than half of their clan members had been killed or killed.

Saving the Guanglingtian family was not because of Bodhisattva Zhou Ming's heart, nor was it due to the fact that the Guanglingtian family and the Haipingtian family were of the same origin. It seemed reasonable to save it. Zhou Ming was not that boring. In fact, it was because his father, Tian Feng, was seriously ill. On his deathbed, his last wish was to return the Tian family's ancestral genealogy, and begged Zhou Ming to bring back all the ancestral genealogy.

So, after getting back all the ancestral genealogy from the dejected patriarch Tian Kuangna, Zhou Ming boarded the Clippers and immediately brought these ancestral genealogy to his father Tian Feng.

Getting up from the hospital bed, tremblingly walked to the genealogy of these ancestral cards, stroked the somewhat yellowed title page of the genealogy with his hand, his father Tian Feng, with tears streaming down his face, knelt in front of the ancestral cards and said:

"My ancestors! My unfilial grandson, Tian Feng, has brought back all your spiritual seats! Your spirits in heaven can rest in peace! The descendants of the Tian family will no longer blame me, an incompetent sinner!"

Two days later, his father, Tian Feng, passed away peacefully at the age of fifty-nine. To commemorate his achievements, in the genealogy credit book, Zhou Ming took all his painstaking efforts in managing the Tian family's property, and "for Tian's direct lineage, regain These eleven words "ancestor's genealogy" are enough for him to be remembered forever by future generations...
